Foggy morning, chilly nights
5 pm, and on with the lights
Pillow and blanket in your cozy nook
4 more days till Trick-or-Book!
Are we really at the Fourth Annual Trick-or-Book already? Wasn’t it just yesterday the first day of school, just those lazy summer days, just the early-bird crocuses and tulips, just Valentine’s Day, just Christmas and Chanukah and Kwanzaa?
But already we slide and tiptoe again toward Halloween, planning costumes and decorating doorways, carving our best jack-o-lantern yet, jumping at the sound of early firecrackers, shivering at the ghostly voice emanating from behind the neighbours’ door, and of course preparing for the arrival of both beauties and beasts by stocking up on –
books?!
Well, at this address, yes indeed. Picture books. Adventures. Dog stories and tales of magic. Words silly and words serious. Sports heroes and princesses, orphans and talking animals; the Wild West and the Near East; things you could never have imagined; kids who are just like you…
No chocolate, not one piece of candy?
That’s right.
Just new worlds to discover.
Dive in now – hold tight!
